Song about a childhood nightmare (falling + fight a dragon) with a heavy dose of divine or parental (and if you had the right parents, it's the same thing) intervention. For Spintunes 4, Round 1
lyrics
feel like i'm falling
through a monster's scream
no parachute
no pair of wings
air rushing out of my lungs
no sign of anyone
is someone calling
some voice I know
whispers carry on the wind
a hundred dark echoes
I bend my ear
to break my doubt
turn my head
to my way out
I'm falling faster still
past towers, windowsills
fear nothing
fear nothing, son
I'm right behind you, you're not alone
fear nothing
fear nothing, son
follow my voice all the way home
there is no slowing
don't know what lies
so far below me
are those fires or eyes?
now touching down
shadows of swaying trees
sword on my back
forged in belief
i feel a crushing stare
(keep moving on you way)
ink and ashes in the air
fear nothing
fear nothing, son
strike sure and true, put the dragon down
fear nothing
fear nothing, son
keep fighting, you're almost here now
silence breaks
air aflame
all it takes
is to be brave
the end is almost here
that monster's not earned your fear
i fear nothing
fear nothing now
the light ahead is surely home
i fear nothing
if i can hear you you
i can feel you and i am not alone
fear nothing
fear nothing son,
it's only a few more steps now
fear nothing
you fear fear nothing now
you're home and i'm still not sure how
when you wake
try to feel the same
live life
untamed
